Peter Shumlin is proud to receive the Vermont League of Conservation Voters (VT LCV) endorsement for Governor today. The VT LCV recognizes that Peter has been an active leader on environmental issues and credits him with passing comprehensive clean energy legislation, making climate change a state priority and leading the Senate this past February to the historical 26-4 vote to retire Vermont Yankee as scheduled.
Todd Bailey, the Vermont League of Conservation Voters’ Executive Director stated, “At this critical time in Vermont’s history we need a governor who shares [our] values, knows how to get tough things done, and will ensure that the Green Mountain State is a national leader in creating good paying jobs for Vermonters in the emerging green economy.”
Bailey further stated, “Senator Shumlin’s opponent needed two tries before he would acknowledge that climate change is a reality.” Bailey continued, “If Brian Dubie is not 100% certain on these globally significant issues, which have a tremendous impact on Vermont, how can Vermonters be confident that he is in line with their desire to maintain Vermont’s quality of life?”
